ABSTRACT

The most contagious and infectious disease is coronavirus, which is caused by a broad family of viruses. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (MERS-CoV), another type of virus that is transmitted between animals and humans, was discovered in 2012. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) was discovered in 2003 and was believed to be an animal virus that infected 26 countries. On April 4, 2020, around 1,130,664 instances and approximately 60,147 deaths were reported due to the most recent arrival of the novel corona virus, which also turned out to be a spillover virus from animals. Convenience sampling was utilised in a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test approach to evaluate the knowledge and practices of 300 staff nurses working in a chosen tertiary care hospital inJaipur,Rajasthan regarding the prevention and management of post-COVID problems. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire and a checklist were used as data collection tools to evaluate knowledge and practices for the management and prevention of post-COVID problems. Self-report, observation, and interviews were the methods used to gather the data. The results of the current study showed that the level of knowledge mean scores were 17.59 in the pre-test and 24.79 in the post-test, with a mean difference of 7.2 and a standard deviation of 4.345. Staff nurses' knowledge and practices have been found to be improved by a video-assisted instruction program on the prevention and management of post-COVID problems.
